"'Comics are a fantastic way to learn about history' promises the
introduction to this hybrid comics/prose textbook, which packs a
vast sweep of time into a single volume. […] The workmanlike art
features well-researched costumes and cultural details…It's a
friendly introduction to the subject matter…" --Publishers
Weekly
"I enjoyed this one that my son and I are reading together. We have
a trip planned to Japan for an entire month and so happy to be
learning so much from this book! The illustrations are incredible."
